To all Lo/1,0m t may omwern:

Be it known that I, SIDNEY KETTRIDGE, a

subject of the King of Great Britain, re-

siding at Washington, District of Columbia, haveA invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pictorial Accounting-Demonstrators,l of which the following is a speciiication.

My invention relates to improved means for obtaining fundamental information regarding Government work subjectively, and the cost of the accounting therefor, whereby records of the work and costs,y and examples of method and system in each department, establishment, and institution, can be maintained and controlled by a central oflice for the general information and instruction of administrative oiiicers, clerks, and others.; and for providing data to facilitate investigative work, promoting economy and einciency generally.

The object of my invention is to provide a pictorial accounting demonstrator, or novel pictorial accounting report or mount folder, containing, on a form-mount, the form exhibited, and, on a label-strip, certain details relative to such form, and being conveniently, though not necessarily, upon a single sheet and provided withy suitable 2 means for binding or assembling; The form-mount is adapted to have a form mounted thereon, and the label-strip is adapted to overlie such form. The labelstripy has label imprints containing headings, columns, designated spaces, and the like, for entering data relating to the associated form.

Referring tothe drawings, forming a part of this application: Figure l is a fragmentary view', illustrating my novel pictorial' account-ing demonstrator as a folder with obverse and reverse label imprints, such folder being in open, or unfolded position, displaying the label obverse with part of the exhibited mounted form; Fig.. 2" is a face view, showing the folderA closed, displaying the label reverse, with the exhibited form also folded', and Fig. 3 is a. fragmentary view, showing the exhibited mounted form.

In the drawings, reference 1 indicates the form-mount, combined with a mounted form, having a heading for entering an identification of such form by oiiicial form number and index references, said heading being shown at the upper right-hand corner,

4in position for display beyond the labelstrip 2 in the folded position vof the latter.

As shown in Fig. 1, the label obverse is 1 provided with headings for oicial form and index numbers corresponding to those on the form mount 1,. with headings for the l organization or identification code symbol of the reporting division, etc., and with headv,ings for classifying the mounted form subf jectively, as indicated by= reference numeral 3.v The label obverse is also provided with l headings 4 for stating the source and disposition or utilization of the information furnished by the form, with headings 5 for stating the steps required in preparing the :form and the cost of such steps, and with additional headings for indicating the nature of the form and other data.

As shown in Fig. 2, the label reverse is provided with headings relative to indexing and filing the mounted form.

In Fig. 3, the mounted' form or blank is 'shown with specimen entries exemplifying its functions.

In Figs. l and. 2,; the labels are illustrated with entries, showing the manner inwhich the headings are used to recorddatavregarding the particular form exhibited.

As shown in the figures the label-strip land the form-mount are on one sheet, and the label-strip has obverse and reverse label imprints. It will be obvious, however, that the labels can be used in a detached manner as separate reports, either placed next to the illustrated form or in other convenient position; further, that the labels can be imprinted on one face only, instead of obverse and reverse.

The completed individual mount folders or reportsfor each department or establishment, when collated subjectively, willy serve as a current pictorial accounting l demonstrator of Government work and system; further, by duly recording changes in system when suchl occur, the reports will continue as an up-to-date picture of such work. These pictorial exhibits can be maintained either in a central office for each department, or in a central oicey forall departments and establishments.

It will be evident that my pictorial accountingu demonstrators are not limited to Government use, but can be readily adapted to private or publicl businessI concerns, establishments, institutions, etc.v
